KVM Switches KVM0108A and KVM0116A User Manual12
Powering Off and Restarting
If it becomes necessary to power off the KVM switch, or if the switch loses power and needs to be
restarted, before starting it back up, follow these procedures to prevent possible equipment issues:
1. Disconnect the Cat 5e/6 cable adapters (connecting the servers) from the back of the KVM
switch.
Note: 1. If PS/2 server modules are disconnected from the server, the server must be
rebooted to re-establish the connection of the mouse and keyboard.
2. Unplug the power cords of any computers that have the Keyboard Power On
function.
2. Wait 10 seconds then power the KVM switch on. If you have shut down more than one KVM
switch, power up the highest level first and work your way down to the lowest level. Wait for
each KVM switch to display its station ID on the front panel LED before powering on the next
one.
3. After power is on to all KVM switches, plug in the Cat 5e/6 cables or power the computers on.
Port ID Numbering
Each computer on the installation is assigned a unique port ID. The port ID is a one or two segment
number that is determined by the level and port number of the switch that is connected to the computer.
The first segment represents the level of the switch, the second segment represents the number of the
port that the computer is plugged into. For example, if a computer is connected to KVM port 3 of a
switch that is in the 12th position of the tier, it would have a port ID of 12-03.
Note: Single digit numbers (1-9) have a preceding zero (0).
